My CDR-300 just says "no signal" after I put it in record mode

It works fine in play mode, but suddenly says "no signal" when I try to record on it. NOthing I've tried has worked. It did take a brief spill the other day but I can't believe this tiny fall would break the mic, would it? I thought it worked after that and today, nothing.

mine says the same thing. I use the internal mic so there is no cable to check. Last week it gave feed back for an entire recording session. I turned of the machine and turned it back on, it worked fine, then a day later, nothing but the no signal message. mine says the same thing. I use the internal mic so there is no cable to check.

You can try computer software like Nero or Roxio and finalize the disc as it is. This is exactly why I had advised Churches that went from reliable cassette tapes to CDR to put UPS units on the CD recorders as they do not react too well to power outages. If you were using an Open Reel there would be very little loss of the recorded signal.

So you're saying an unnamed mixer is feeding a potential analog signal to a CDR. You're monitoring the CDR output at an unnamed amp.

You haven't established that there is any signal to BE heard.

WHAT is the actual source sound device (BEFORE the mixer)? Is the source input visible on the CDR when it's in Record Mode?
Have you perused the manuals?

NEVER USE EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH VOLUME SETTINGS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING. If a signal is inaudible at half volume it's effectively not there. YOU WILL BLOW SOMETHING UP WHEN YOU FIND THE MISPLACED CONTROL AND FLIP IT.

looks like the rotor is jam or broken,try to unscrew it and open the top cover so you can see the rotor and then plug it in to the power source ,then always press the open/close button and check the rotor if its jam or broken and see what happen.

Your assessment that it duplicates CD's internally fits with an analog-only failure mode. Let's make sure the signal is getting past your RCA jacks on the deck...

Put the deck in a Rec/Standby mode and make sure an analog source registers adequate volume on the meters. If it's good there and doesn't change with cable swapping between the input channels, you're right, the problem is internal. Maybe the volume potentiometer itself has developed a dead spot. Manually rotate it throughout its range many times to wipe it clean.

If you have an external optical digital source use it to check the meters in digital recording mode to be sure they're about even. The same knob affects analog and digital levels.

If you have the deck connected via the traditional Tape Monitor circuit in a receiver you should be able to tell by ear if the one channel is dead or too low. This puts all of the recording circuitry including the volume knob in line with your receiver.

Use your tape out, or another line out signal from your preamp.... if possible - OR Sometimes you can pull out some connectors on the back of your amp (a Metal joint kindathing ;), to break signalpath between preamp and poweramp if its an integrated amp -
Use preamp out signal to feed your cdr ( Main purpose is to equalize out, the RIAA correction on a record)
Have you tried to google your question ? Lots of fine guides out there!!!

Some audio cd's work better than others. I have experienced some problems with the Maxell brand so I switched brands. It can be quirky. Sometimes you get a bad lot of discs. I have had no problems since that bad lot of discs.

make sure camera has this function first,Easy way to check is to see if top of camera has a record botton where play,ff,rew,stop are..Put camera in VTR mode then hok up cable to tv ..if no signal is comming thru,, check on camera menu for this function..LINE IN

You sure it's recognizing the CDR? And you are using 'consumer audio' cdr? Watch it at all times. If it 'opc fails' after you put a blank in it still shows as a CDR and 0:00 on the display but won't record. It's easy to miss.
